This year’s conference takes place on March 7 in Berkeley and March 16 in Lafayette. For a full description, click here. (Last year’s conference is described below.)

Join us for a comprehensive introduction to the latest research on plastic in the oceans, innovations in bioplastics, how recycling fits into the picture, and ways that we each can shift to life-sustaining materials.

Who should attend: students, teachers, business managers and owners, civic leaders, citizen activists, and anyone interested in sustainable living.
